Lemon Poppyseed

[Aunt Polly]

CP soap, ungelled, with Lemon Poppyseed FO, yellow oxide powder, and TD. (cocoa powder pencil line)

Very nice! I love the contrast that the pencil line creates.

Funny story--I intended to put the poppy seeds in the yellow half, but I forgot. So I had to add them to the white part---which turned out ok afterall.

It looks great!

That's lovely and looks good enough to eat! :clap:

 

[AngelMomma]

I really like it!

Pencil line! That's what it's called! Can you do that with micas and have it show up?

I like the poppy seeds in the white I think they'd stand out more in white. I just bought a new lemon FO that I have not tried yet but maybe I will try adding a poppyseed pencil line. I love getting ideas on here! Thanks for sharing

I think the poppyseeds turned out nice in the top for more of a contrast. I bet is smells as yummy as it looks too. How much of the yellow oxide did you use to get your color? I'm trying to gauge how much to use in my next batch since my first time was very light in comparison. And nice job on the pencil line!

Kazmi, you know what? I just mixed a little yellow oxide with some of the OO in the recipe, the I added it at trace a little at a time until I thought it was the right color. I know that's not very helpful or precise, but it's what I do! Thank you for the compliments!!

Gosh, they look good enough to eat!

that looks sooooo scrumptious! I like the poppyseeds in the white, too. my pencil lines always look like lumpy "potholes". very nice job!

Very nice!! I love how they turned out...funny it wasn't planned that way.
@ashleyrobertson, I've seen a lot of pencil lines using cocoa, but yes you can use micas, just make sure to use a light dusting in order to keep the color from "dragging" as you slice it.

 

[Aunt Polly]

I usually turn loaf on side to slice when there is a pencil line, so the cutter won't drag through the pencil line.

I think the poppyseeds in the white portion makes it look like real vanilla icecream with the vanilla seeds incorporated. Yummy!
